As Far as You Can Go by Lesley Glaister
When Cassie sees a job advertised for a couple to run a remote Australian farm, she thinks it will be the perfect escape for her and Graham. But trapped under the baking sun of the outback, paranoia sets in. There's no radio and they send but never receive any letters. Their enigmatic and unusually forgiving boss Larry and his wife Mara have secrets, sedatives, and some very odd habits: a result of their isolated lifestyle or something more sinister? And there's always the sensation, in the stark brush of the red desert, that eyes are watching them
'Glaister is an expert plotter and her story has a chilling plausibility.. This is a story whose message will linger long after the book is closed' Scotsman 'Glaister is excellent on relationship dynamics and the hot, oppressive atmosphere of her modern-day fairytale almost causes steam to rise from the pages' Independent on Sunday 'The heat, smells and fascination of the vast outback landscape are vividly described. And always in the background, just out of view, is the uneasy sense that something horrific lurks in waiting' Sunday Telegraph 'If you're heading for the Australian outback, you might want to delay reading this scary psycho-thriller' Daily Mail
